Quite the contrary... 1) When I boot my system on an airplane: a) Saves the battery because the radio is off. b) Unlikely to create havoc with the airplane systems. 2) If I'm just sitting in a pubic place [airport, restaurant that does not have a hotspot,...] but have no need for a WiFi connection, it protects my system from any possibility of snooping. [Certainly more of an issue for Windoze users that OS/2 users, but of course, that's the system that came on the T60.] While I understand potential issues if the switch is accidently off, I personally like having the switch. [BTW, I was burned in the very early days of my T60s, over a year ago. OTOH, it turned out that the switch was not the problem, GenMac was still not properly supporting the NICs.] Just like it is too easy to get used to the automatic switch for the headlights on my car when a parking lot attendant does not understand and turns the lights off, I end up driving down the street in pure darkness. I've now learned to check the switch on the car and on the T60. To each his own, I guess... :-) Happy New Year to all!
